The Rise of the Little Nanny in the 80s

★[Cold and Reserved Military Officer × Beautiful Housekeeper]★
 
Before losing consciousness, the last thing Meng Guyu heard was her husband Zhao Jinlai’s impatient voice:
 
“Stop pretending you’re sick. You’ve been married into this family for seven or eight years and haven’t earned a single cent, yet you eat and live well. You can’t even give birth to a child. What’s wrong with me finding someone else to have one? Once she moves in, you’d better serve her during her postpartum confinement. Otherwise, get out!”
 
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the time before her marriage.
 
Everyone around her urged her to marry Zhao Jinlai, a man with an iron rice bowl job, and said that working as a nanny was degrading and meant serving others.
 
But Meng Guyu remembered all too clearly what life after marriage had been like. She had spent years waiting on her husband’s entire family, had to watch people’s expressions just to ask for money, and in the end was even forced to care for her husband’s mistress during her postpartum confinement.
 
That was what true humiliation looked like.
 
“Mom, I’m going to work as a nanny.”
 
Shen Fengmian, dressed in military uniform with his shirt buttoned neatly to his Adam’s apple, had cool and distant features.
 
“Can you do laundry, cook, and take care of children?” he asked.
 
Meng Guyu nodded.
 
“I can.”
 
And she truly could.
 
Laundry and cooking were easy. Even mischievous children weren’t hard to coax. Every month she received her salary, spent the money she earned herself, and bought whatever she wanted.
 
The only problem was…
 
The way a certain someone looked at her seemed to be growing more and more unusual.
 
—
 
Meng Guyu’s sister-in-law thought her little sister-in-law was a fool.
 
She had turned down Zhao Jinlai, a man with a secure government job, and instead chose work that involved serving others. It was as though she’d been kicked in the head by a donkey.
 
But as the days passed, Meng Guyu became more vibrant and radiant.
 
Every time she returned home, she wore different clothes, looked prettier than before, and not only achieved success in her career but also went from a little nanny to the mistress of the household. She even gave birth to twins—a boy and a girl—and lived a prosperous, happy life.
 
As for Zhao Jinlai, the wife he married never conceived. The mistress he found caused endless turmoil in the family, and in the end, after all the drama, it turned out that the child wasn’t even his.
 
What a spectacle.
 
Tsk, her little sister-in-law really became a winner in life!
